I don't think I've been banned, but I don't understand why my Lenny Henry thread, as well as all posts I've made over at least the past 24 hours/subsequent replies to them, have been removed.

Is shitposting no longer allowed on /iq/ or is posting The Guardian links now blacklisted or something?

(A good day to you Sir!)

>>15933
I think you mean denylisted.

>>15934
Wait, can we not post Guardian links now?

Why was the RAF thread deleted? Wrongthink?

>>15936
It was posted by a 4chan immigrant.

>>15937
So the moderators are on the record as being anti immigration?

>>15938
That was the joke they just made, yes.

This is why you're not allowed to post here. Things move very quickly here and it's not good enough to be two steps behind at all times.

Some charming person has managed to get themselves banned from every Opera location again. Any chance this could be lifted from 77.111.245.11?

>>15940
I've removed the range ban but will put it back if it starts again.

>>15941

Thank you.

>>15941

Has this been put back on? Trying to post again with Opera, 77.111.247.65 and others have been banned.

>>15983

No. There are still some individual IPs banned from that range prior to the range ban being put in place but not ending in .65

>>15937
Hang on, before this I'd posted here for over 10 years back when it was using ionisation to deal with all the wanking going on in my student flat. You banned me for a year for otherplacery where I think I might've just pissed you off by referencing icebergs which was clearly chosen for Great Elk shenanigans but may have been missed.

Can you lift the ban? I've surely learnt my lesson by now and need to ask what I can do about my door lock sticking in the cold.

Posting from a hotel because I don't actually know how to ask otherwise.

I just finished serving a one month ban and my thread was deleted for post >>/b/456409 . If any of you modlads can still see deleted posts, could you please let know what I did to breach the rules or otherwise offend you? Did you think the OP image I used was a meme from the other place? Could you not have just removed the image?

Stop banning me for being right about things.

I tried posting on my phone internet and it said I was permabanned for samefagging on /x/ and trying to persuade the mods to allow child porn in 2021. I've only been on this network, iD Mobile, since last March and I only ever post fat lasses, not kiddies.

>>16040
That was a range ban, you'll be reet now.

Someone was being an arse using the standard Opera VPNs again. Can I have posting rights for 77.111.247.44 back, please?

>>16042 someone has been an arse on starlink by the look of it. Any chance of unbanning 145.224.90.243 ? Ta.

>>16072
Doesn't appear to be banned, what was the message?

There are a few proxy bans from 2008 which are similar, but that one isn't banned. It's possible it's being automatically blocked by Brian, because he doesn't like VPNs, perhaps that used to belong to one, and I'm not sure how up to date his IP database is.

>>16073 weird. I get Amazon Linux Ami test page on britfa.gs, and forbidden on britfa.gs/*/
Getting my ip from whatismyipaddress.com, and it does think it's starlink, so probably isn't complete bollocks.

>>16074 Dunno if you fixed it, or the stars aligned differently, but it's working again. Thanks either way.

>>16075 muuuuuum, it happened again. Although now I'm 216.128.2.25 , still showing as starlink. Fuctifino. Can't (easily) believe starlink is inserting the same error pages you serve to naughty people, but web architecture is a mystery to me.

I got banned for an entire year a few weeks ago for a post which quoted someone else's post containing a racial slur, and praised the moderation policy regarding said slur so enthusiastically that it might inadvertently have sounded sarcastic. I promise I wasn't being sarcastic, so I presume you might have been cracking down on the racial slurs that were appearing in that thread at the time, certainly partly because of me. I am very sorry about that, as well as for drawing unnecessary attention to the moderation policies and trying to put words in your mouth. You can leave me banned a bit longer if you like because I haven't had much to say lately, but I like posting here and there's bound to come a time when I have something to contribute again. Please unban me.

>>16093
You've got to be extremely careful with anything which could even remotely be perceived as racist. It depends entirely on which side of bed one of the mods has got out of.

>>16093
What post/thread was this?

>>16096
I was >>/b/465436. The post was deleted, but perhaps you have special powers that will let you confirm my story.

>>16097
Ok

>>16098
Thank you so much!

>>16074 me again with my starlink woes. Forbidden if I visit /*/, AMI test page if I go to .gs
209.198.129.212

>>16115 I'm back, at 145.224.66.59
Weird. Not least because this is from their support site -
The default IPv4 configuration uses Carrier-Grade Network Address Translation (CGNAT) using private address space from the 100.64.0.0/10 prefix assigned to Starlink clients via DHCP

Any chance the Opera VPN IPs can be unbanned again, please? (77.111.247.137.)

I don't know who's determined to fuck up the most convenient way for me to browse as a filthy expat, but it seems like most of the bans happened in 2023.

I realise I was a silly sausage in the Israel thread. I am just very upset with them committing genocide. I don't believe there is really anything inherently different about them as a people I am just trying to reconcile how they can be just so awful seemingly without conscious.

>>16118

>without conscious

One for the Vimpto thread in /101/.

>>16118
There are no bans on that IP and the most recent ban was the /iq paedo almost a fortnight ago.

I'm getting a 403 error when trying to access the site through Hyperoptic but I had no problem yesterday after I set up the new wifi. Obviously it works fine through my mobile internet and I get the same error on different browsers.

The weird thing is when I try the page Britfa.gs it shows me Amazon Linux AMI Test Page. Anything on the site side that could be causing this?

>>16121
That's what I get on Starlink. Oddly, it happens for the first half of the calendar month, fixes for the second. Has done for a few months now. I ought to make a note of my (presented) IP addresses, see if they change, but I never bother.
OK, I've bothered. New and very uninteresting spreadsheet started.

>>16122
Interesting, my thought was that IP might've been confused with a VPN but I'm not sure if that leads to a 403 error or why it would only be picked up here.

Anyway 143.58.140.112 - is there any dirt on that one modlads?

>>16122 here, forbidden again. Now 209.198.129.156
Was fine last night

>>16123
It's now changed to Manchester. I guess I'll be forking out another fiver a month to Hyperoptic to see if they'll give me a static IP.

This is outrageous, I can't even change my provider in my building.

>>>/e/26671
What's the point in even using the imageboard format if users can't even respond with reaction images. It's not even a serious thread for fuck sake, it's vieogames.
Shame on whoever reported that.

>>/pol/100954
Why do seemingly insightful posts keep being deleted around here? This is probably the third time I've noticed it in recent weeks. S'only thanks to respondents greentext that I've any inclination of something interesting being said.
Say what you like about dolphin rape (there's a slight tone in >>/pol/100956's greentext that might indicate unsavoury opinions) but I feel disrespected as a user, being it suggested I need someone to filter opinions for me.

>>16135
Users who spam the board with 4chan-tier dolphin rape tend to get all their posts deleted, hope that helps.

I got permabanned when the racist came back (>>/news/42062). I have always thought that the most obnoxious and infuriating thing you can ever do to someone's lengthy and impassioned speech is to reply to it and just say "lol". So yes, I concede that I was trying to wind him up. And I failed to reflect that this might not be obvious to other posters, and it might ultimately lead to people thinking that a post that just says "lol" is an acceptable sort of post to write here in other situations. So I'd be happy to wait out a short ban. But this is a permanent ban that will never expire. And as >>/news/42072 says, "Modding from my phone is a pain in the arse", so perhaps I was permabanned by mistake. Can someone please reduce or remove my ban, please?

>>16137
Yes.

>>16138
Thank you very much!

>>16139
No problem mate. Sorry about that. Phone-based as you guessed. Thanks for explaining.

Unban 77.111.247.232 please?

And can whoever keeps shitposting on Opera VPNs, please stop?

>>16164
It wasn't banned to begin with.

>>16165

I couldn't post all of today on it. How strange.
